Residual Limbs of Amputees Are Significantly Cooler than Contralateral Intact Limbs

▪ : Objective: To test the hypothesis that distal residual limbs (DRLs) have significant vasomotor abnormalities. Design: Comparative surface temperature studies of DRLs using paired samples (DRL vs. similar site on intact contralateral limb). Subjects/Patients: Thirty‐six volunteer subjects wit...
